Today's review is of Seeds: One Man's Serendipitous Journey to Find the Trees That Inspired Famous American Writers from Faulkner to Kerouac, Welty to Wharton by Richard Horan. This book is a cultural history of trees. Horan seeks out and collects the seeds of trees associated with novels, historical figures, landscapes, and pop culture.
Seeds is also part literary and part field guide. The book includes darling little illustrations of seeds, seedpods, cones, samaras, acorns, nut cases, buds, and leaves. Horan weaves in lessons about tree physiology and nomenclature.
